Good, but not as funny as earlier books,
By
This review is from: Diary of a Wimpy Kid 6: Cabin Fever (Hardcover)
For those familiar with the series, this is another book about Greg's misadventures. In this book, he does come off as slightly less selfish than in previous ones, but he still looks out for himself. The book doesn't deal with a lot of school popularity issues as do previous books. Rather, if focuses more on small details about Greg's life. Maybe that's why it doesn't seem as interesting.The laughs are there, but there weren't any really great moments. I think the closest I came to laughing out loud was the scene about his doll's revenge. Beyond that, there's the usual bits with Rowley, a little with his older brother, his younger brother Manny is still a terror (why he's not disciplined at all I don't get), and his parents still don't get him. The kids I spoke to enjoyed this book, but not as much as earlier versions. So I guess that's consistent. The author stated that he was inspired to write this book when he himself was snowed in or trapped away from home. Frankly, this book seems like something that would come out of that rather than serious creative juices. Hopefully for fans of the series this is just a blip and not the beginning of the end of the comedy.

The Cabin Fever Episode Is One of the High Points of This Series!,

This review is from: Diary of a Wimpy Kid 6: Cabin Fever (Hardcover)
"I believed, therefore I spoke, 'I am greatly afflicted.'" -- Psalm 116:10 (NKJV)Jeff Kinney has done it again! He has an amazing ability to reach back into childhood to remember the perspective we all had and to revive memories of Christmas, winter, bullying, online activities, "solutions" that didn't work out so well, having to help parents, and starting little enterprises. I felt as if I were there with Greg in many cases. Even better, his portrayal of Greg as being hapless . . . but not quite knowing it . . . is especially appealing. There's some of Greg in all of us, and Jeff Kinney obviously appreciates the naiveté while letting us all enjoy some good laughs that are almost as much at our own expense as they are at Greg's. Finally, Jeff Kinney understands the frequent silliness of the world . . . when we "believe" in what we are supposed to believe. In so doing, there's a cautionary tale here to ask questions first. Bravo!

Four stars,
This review is from: Diary of a Wimpy Kid 6: Cabin Fever (Hardcover)
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever is better than average, but it wasn't very special, and unlike the others, it didn't fill me with inspiration or make me LOL. It doesn't actually have a lot to do with what is described on Amazon and not very much happens. It was still good though and didn't bore (somehow Wimpy Kid books never do).
